The Degrammaticalization of the English To-Infinitive and Parameter-Resetting. Shin, S. 언어, 46(1):165–188, March, 2021.
Paper abstract bibtex The investigation of the English to -infinitive through diachronic versions of the Gospel of Luke clearly shows that the to -infinitive undergoes both grammaticalization and degrammaticalization. The grammaticalization of the English to -infinitive occurred in Middle English (ME), followed by degrammaticalization in Early Modern English (ENE) and Present-day English (PE), in which to - infinitives are not preceded by for or any preposition. This leads us to conclude that grammaticalization is not unidirectional or irreversible. With the grammaticalization and degrammaticalization of the to -infinitive and changes of the status of markedness concerning for to -infinitives from Old English (OE) through ME and ENE to PE, it is asserted that language change is achieved through parameter-resetting mediated by markedness.
